Event Description

30-minute lecture with Q&A to follow

with Betsy Schwarm, Pre-performance Speaker with Opera Colorado and the Colorado Symphony

Henry Purcell’s English Baroque opera Dido And Aeneas dates so far back that the first performance is thought to be around 1689. Music Historian Betsy Schwarm will uncover more interesting facts about this piece, just in time for Central City Opera’s garden performances this summer.

Lectures will be streamed on Zoom and Facebook Live.
